Hi everyone! Today we are kicking off the second of our four reading challenges in our 7th Annual Reading Challenge Month… and it’s TBR Pile Week! This week is all about dusting off those shelves and grabbing a book that may have been languishing for a while and need some attention. For this challenge, we are reading books that have been on our to-be-read list for at least a year.
If you missed the lead up to the event and need some information about what is going on, check out our Kick Off post. It has all the details about the event, how to get involved, and how to win prizes.
TBR Pile Week is sponsored by the fabulous folks at Tantor Audio! We love our audiobooks here at Joyfully Jay and many of the audio we review is published by Tantor. Tantor is giving away a great audiobook bundle to TWO winners. Both winners will get codes for all of these audiobooks:
- The Gentle Art of Fortune Hunting – KJ Charles
- Headstrong – Eden Finley
- His Truth – Riley Hart
- Finding Joy – Adriana Herrera
- Beyond the Sea – Keira Andrews
- Not Dead Yet – Jenn Burke
I’m super excited about this prize, as there are some fabulous audiobooks here! And don’t forget, at the end of the month we will be drawing for our Grand Prize sponsored by NineStar Press. They are giving away a Kindle Paperwhite loaded with 50 NineStar Press books! So all your entries each week will be counted toward the final grand prize as well.

My paper books can’t tell me how long they’ve been languishing on my shelves (which may be a good thing), but one work I’ll be reading this week has been on my Kindle since 2014! I look forward to this challenge.
I’m reading Collide#1 from the Blackcreek series by Riley Hart. I’ve had this for a couple of years and I’m not sure why I haven’t read it yet.
Oh good choice! Can’t wait to hear what you think!
My TBR pile seems to grow all by itself. I do try new authors all the time but also follow favorites closely.
I’m embarrassed to say how many books are in my TBR pile. I seem to read current books and the older ones languish on my list. Once I’m done with my current book I’ll pick one of my older books – it’s just so hard to choose?
Yes it’s so hard not to go for the shiny new ones!
Hello! I found out about this from an author I follow on FB and could use some new reads. I’m always excited to find new authors to follow. I’m going to check out Anyta Sunday and her book Made For You.
Thanks for joining us Shannon!
